Male Perc, Pygmy, and Sixline

What is the deal? LOL. I finally pulled the Pygmy Angel out of the DT because he was tormenting our Male Perc. Now it is about a month later and our Sixline is doing the same thing, but to a lesser extent....8)

 

i dunno percs tend to get bullied a bit, mines always been able to defend itself though

 

Yeah, he is holding his own...They dont even bother the female, I guess her size which is triple the male has something to do with it....

 

Its also depends on who was in the tank first. The first one introduced into the tank will usually be the most aggressive, after you take out the 1st, then comes the 2nd and so on. You know, the alpha male thing.

 

very very true my falcos hawk is very agressive towards new tank mates, especially when they enter his "zone"

 

Yep...percs will fend off most attackers if territory established. Also if paired...

get another...

 

lol my friend just pulled a damsel outta his tank because when he added new crabs and a conch the little puke wouldn't even let them outta their shells... Hope that little perc finds himself a Rocky complex and makes a stand for the little guys!

He is part of a mated pair and they were the very first inhabitants...Go figure....8)
